Overview

• Wayne Police have named the suspect as 31-year-old Brian Anthony Browning of Romulus, Michigan, who was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, a semi-automatic handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
• A church deacon in a Ford F-150 rammed the attacker outside CrossPointe Community Church, enabling a security guard—wounded by a leg shot—to return fire and kill him.
• About 150 worshippers, including children attending a vacation Bible school service, were inside the church during the June 22 shooting; no congregants were injured.
• CrossPointe’s volunteer security team, formed a decade ago in response to threats at places of worship, is working with the FBI and local agencies on the ongoing investigation.
• Preliminary findings suggest Browning may have been experiencing a mental health crisis and had no known affiliation with the church beyond attending a few services.
